"This portfolio is dedicated to my teacher for all the things she has taught me, for being there when I didn't think anyone else was, for helping me with my writing, and for giving me opportunities for going beyond my own expectations."

"Not only did Puente teach me about college, it taught me how to make it through high school. Puente was not made up of "ideal" straight A students; it was made of teens of color who had potential, but needed the push to make it to college. This is what I loved most about Puente: it truly helped those who needed, not just the people who were . . . "college bound" because of their test scores."
